Resizing the Viewport

After choosing a layout you can resize the viewports so they have different proportions by moving the splitter bars that separate the viewports. This is available only when multiple viewports are displayed.

Changing the View Type

As you work, you can change the view in any viewport quickly. For example, you can switch from front view to back view. You can use either of two methods: menu or keyboard shortcut.

• Click or right-click the Point-Of-View (POV) viewport label of the viewport you want to change. Then from the POV viewport label menu, click the view type that you want.
• Click the viewport you want to change, and then press one of the keyboard shortcuts in the following table.

  Key	View type
  T	Top view
  B	Bottom view
  F	Front view
  L	Left view
  C	Camera view. If your scene has only one camera, or you select a camera before using this keyboard shortcut, that camera supplies the view. If your scene has more than one camera, and none are selected, a list of cameras appears.
  P	Perspective view. Retains viewing angle of previous view.
  U	Orthographic User view. Retains viewing angle of previous view. Allows use of Zoom Region .
  none	Right view. Use the POV viewport label menu.
  none	Shape view. Use the POV viewport label menu. Automatically aligns view to the extents of a selected shape and its local XY axes.
